1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX "Slut"
I pride myself in keeping a clean car and when the weather is nice (spring/summer) I keep ontop of it with a full detail once a week and another clean sometime in the week. It is my pride a joy. I could care less what track times it pulls like everyother DSM which is also broken every single week. My car is different and unique and I get compliments from everyone all the time on how clean it is. To me the comments are what fuels the desire to keep going. Everyone around here basically knows me as the "Eclipse Kid" and I'm cool with that. I'm also really one of the only local 2GB GSX's by birth (not conversion) so that is kindof nice. The car is also rust free!! My future plans are to eventually save up for an EVO III 16G turbo, 650CC injectors, Walboro 255lph fuel pump, and an APEX'i SAFC II. Currently I am trying to purchase an OEM 2GB carbon fiber hood, an RMDSM lip, get a retint, and to suede certain pieces on my interior, and get a custom sub box. Most recent updates are my new wheels and lug setup that is currently being installed as I type this. I also finally ordered the final pieces I need to get my FMIC on and that should be on before the Morgantown Sonic Meet. Mods: ACT 2600 Xtreme Street Clutch kit with Pressure Plate / Throw Bearing ADR Kasai 18" x 8" Rims, 5x114.3 with Silver Finish Alpine Type-R Component Speakers Apex'i N1 Down Pipe and 3" Cat Back Exhaust Bearing Shifter Kit Denso 02 Sensors Fidanza Lightweight Flywheel Full Stainless Steel Clutch Line GReddy Type RS BOV GReddy Upper and Lower Intercooler Pipe Kit Hallman Pro RX Manual Boost Controller at 16psi Injen Air Filter and Polished Intake JM Fabrications Stainless Steel Exhaust Manifold Shield JNZ Rebuilt Transmisson NGK Plugs Prosport Tinted Boost/ Vacuum Gauge in Single Pod Revised 3G Lifters Stock Motor Internals Stock Garrett T-25 Turbo Taylor Spark Plug Wires Tokico Blue Struts Tokico Illumina Springs (1.75" drop) Toyo Proxes 4 225/40/18 Tires When I Got The Car: Most Recent Photo: Engine Bay: New Wheels: I would like to give a lot of credit to my good friend Anthony (SLVERSUBBIEREX) as he is basically my mechanic and has graciously helped me fix the car in its bad times, and has patiently taught me a lot about cars in general. Erik at JNZ as he is very helpful and encouraging with whatever I have needed or what dumb questions I have asked him over this last year and a half. The local DSM community who has also been there and supported me with the car. I would also like to thank Bryan (Troll) himself for creating TST, because I have met a bunch of now close friends through the site and meets. And to Ryan (R_Rambo) for picking my ass up when my car was brokeded.

I was just about to say that the wheels don't really work on a D33 chassis, but then I saw that you're putting new wheels on it. Which ones did you get?
Also, just to let you know, if you plan on running an E16G, you don't need injectors as big as 650cc. 550cc injectors are perfect for a street tuned/moderate setup on a E16G. My brother is actually selling a set of RC 550cc that we ran on our Talon. If you're interested shoot me a PM. Clean car. Nice job on keeping it super clean.

BTW your the only person who has ever said they didn't think the wheels flowed very well. It doesn't offend me because they came with the car and never were really my thing. They were always kindof eh to me. The new ones voice my opinion a bit more. I just found it funny because everybody always loved them.

I'd **** it. Uh.....
Josh, I'm actually feeling the old wheels. It's not that the new ones aren't cool, but I hated the old ones so much that I grew to love them on your car, so I'm flip-floppy on the subject. Oh, and I'm on the 20G band wagon. FP Green is win.
